The ceiling tiles and ceiling panels found on ArchiPro are all of the highest quality. From drop-in ceiling tiles to slat ceiling tiles, our range is diverse in appearance, function and application. Many ceiling tiles are designed to be stylish, adding a decorative touch to a space. While floor tiles and wall tiles are traditional fixtures in homes and workspaces in Australia, ceiling tiles are relatively new to the market and because of this, look particularly modern.
Types of ceiling tiles
Suspended ceiling tiles
Suspended ceiling tiles use a grid system suspended from the ceiling joists and allow easy access to installation, pipes and wiring hidden above the system. Slat ceiling tiles are most often available in suspended form.
Ceiling panels or squares
Ceiling panels, often referred to as ceiling tiles as well, are versatile in installation methods. They can fit into an existing grid system or be directly applied to a ceiling surface using adhesive. Their popularity in Australia due to their ease of installation and the variety of designs available.
Glue on and staple on ceiling tiles
These are affordable options for ceiling finishes that can be directly attached to an existing ceiling surface. Glue-on tiles are applied with adhesive, while staple-on tiles can be secured with staples to a suitable backing. They are an excellent choice for covering old, damaged, or unsightly ceilings with minimal effort.
Plank ceiling tiles
Plank ceiling tiles, especially those made from wood, offer a warm, natural aesthetic and are often found in residential settings. They are typically installed using a tongue-and-groove system, which allows the planks to fit snugly together and can be secured directly to ceiling joists or over an existing ceiling.
The advantages of high-quality ceiling tiles
Ceiling tiles and ceiling panels can be used to cover unattractive ceilings, such as those with maintenance equipment visible, or those made of materials that are simply unsightly. High-quality ceiling tiles will greatly enhance the acoustics of a home or workspace in Australia. They can muffle irritative sounds and prevent echoing, making for a quieter and more peaceful space. Great ceiling tiles will even aid insulation, leading to greater energy efficiency and lower power bills.
How to choose ceiling tiles that are right for you
When selecting ceiling tiles, it's essential to align your choice with the room's specific needs. For areas where sound quality is paramount, such as media rooms or offices, opt for acoustic tiles that minimise noise. In spaces prone to moisture, like kitchens and bathrooms, choose materials like PVC that withstand humidity and prevent mould. The selection ranges from mineral fibre known for its sound-dampening properties, to durable and sleek metal options, each serving different functional and stylistic purposes. For a cohesive look, consider the tile's texture, hue, and design, ensuring it enhances the overall decor theme, whether modern or classic.
Installation methods and tile dimensions significantly influence your decision, especially in spaces with unique requirements. Tiles designed for drop ceilings offer flexibility and ease of access to overhead utilities in commercial or renovated spaces, while glue-up tiles are suited for smooth surfaces, ideal for quick updates or areas with low clearance. Prioritise features such as fire safety in your selection, especially for commercial installations. Balancing these considerations ensures your chosen tiles not only elevate the space's look but also address practicality and safety.
